Corporate Responsibility

Seeding the future

As a family-oriented plant breeding company, our entrepreneurial activities span generations and are characterized by long-term thinking and foresight. At KWS, innovation goes beyond breeding and is also reflected in the way we act – from our partnership with farmers to our commitment towards our employees, investors, and the communities in which we operate. Our decisions are rooted in the ambition to think holistically and make sustainable decisions that contribute to a desirable world that we can pass on to future generations.

Looking forward, we understand ideas and decisions as sustainable when they are economically viable, ecologically durable and socially responsible. As we strive for innovations to further address these three requirements, our core values serve as a foundation to build upon. Foresight, reliability, closeness and independence have proven to be valuable principles when working together towards a common goal.
